“…The leaves are nutritious since they have few calories, vitamins A, B1 and B2, and minerals (Sarkar et al, 2022). The total phenolic content of spinach is significant, and it possesses antioxidant properties that are good for human health (Murcia et al, 2020). Because of its hypoglycemic action, it can also be used to treat lung irritation and urinary calculi (Miri & Roughani, 2019).…”

“…Because of its hypoglycemic action, it can also be used to treat lung irritation and urinary calculi (Miri & Roughani, 2019). The daily consumption of spinach has been impacted by these characteristics around the world (Murcia et al, 2020). Few farmers use field agriculture; instead, most grow spinach in greenhouses, hydroponic systems, and shade nets.…”

In the current study, mycoremediated textile effluents were used for irrigation in a cultivation system to promote resource recycling and cost‐effective spinach production. The raw textile effluents from two different textile mills were decolorized by 93.2 and 94.5%, respectively, as well as mineralized by the immobilized novel fungus Geotrichum candidum. Subsequently, both the treated effluents, treated textile effluent 1 (TTE1) and treated textile effluent 2 (TTE2), were used to cultivate spinach. The results indicated that irrigation with TTE1 and TTE2 resulted in ~9% higher spinach yields compared with the control. Moreover, the water use efficiency with the TTE1 and TTE2 treatments was ~1.2 times better than that with the control. The need for fertilizers in the case of spinach cultivation with treated effluents was compensated by the textile effluents as a result of the breakdown and mineralization of the effluent by immobilized G. candidum. Notably, the energy content, dietary fiber and protein content of spinach irrigated with mycoremediated textile effluent were substantially elevated, with values of 34 kcal/100 g−1, 3.4 g 100 g−1 and 6.92 g 100 g−1, respectively. The preliminary cost analysis indicated that the costs of the whole process (from treatment to irrigation) were approximately US$0.35‐0.38 m−3 (INR 28.22–30.45 m−3) of textile effluent. The study concluded that the mycoremediated textile effluent could be efficiently applied for agronomic usages.

“…Nutritionally, the leaves contain low calories, vitamins A, B1 and B2 and minerals ( Toledo et al., 2003 ). Spinach is an important source of total phenolic content and has an antioxidant capacity, which is beneficial for human health ( Ismail et al., 2004 ; Murcia et al., 2020 ). It can also be used in treating urinary calculi and lung inflammation due to its hypoglycaemic effect ( Miri and Roughani, 2019 ).…”

“…It can also be used in treating urinary calculi and lung inflammation due to its hypoglycaemic effect ( Miri and Roughani, 2019 ). These attributes have influenced worldwide consumption of spinach on a daily basis ( Lisiewska et al., 2011 ; Murcia et al., 2020 ). Spinach has caught the attention of farmers in South Africa and is one of the most common leafy vegetables consumed in the country ( Van Rensburg et al., 2007 ).…”
